When is the next shipment of welders due in? Haven't seen anything since the April Order was talked about.
We have a lot of things in stock. Out of a couple of things, but most are in stock. We received a secondary, small order in May.
Do you have any IMig 200? I think I may have a buyer for my Miller.
I talked to Alex today, the 250EX is out of stock for 4 more weeks, as a general FYI.
Finally got off the fence and ordered my 250EX, Cooler and Cart today. Said it would be a couple of weeks. So, guess the clock is not ticking. Decided on the 250EX over the Lincoln PT225. Always a little voice in the back of my head asking if it was the right thing since I have always owned Lincoln.
We can not help with the little voice, but we can with your welder. Keep us posted.
Without the little voice I wouldn't have an intelligent conversation at work with anyone! Will the order be shipped together or as three seperate (250EX, W300, Cart) shipments?
Ahh! Now I can relate on the little voice. Same one that talk me into buying an Everlast 5-6 years ago. :)Quote:

I believe if they're all in stock they will go the same day. Oleg or Mark have better stock status than us tech support guys.
Mike the UPS gods definitely live in the depths not above :P. I have had dealings with them too many times. They are gods of FRUSTRATION, ANXIETY & DESTRUCTION!:mad:Quote:

The positive is that I can pick up my welder as early as 5:00am, and it beats waiting on the UPS man. With that being said I just made my 3rd Everlast purchase and this will be the one that gets broken....Quote:

Mike,
I was looking at the Miller Dynasty 200DX until I read the spec on single phase operation. It derates to 150A. Then the choice was beween the Lincoln PT 225 and the 250EX. The P225 goes down to 10% duty cycle at 225A. Really like the features of the 250EX. Just like the Dynasty 200DX but you get more welding amps for half the price.
The PT225 LX and PT250 EX are both great machines. I have used both for years. I find the LX will probably do all I need, but for a couple more dollars, you pick up a little more power and a couple features. Both are good choices.
I only mention this for guy on a budget but saw the videos on the internet of the 250EX. The 225 LX will not disappoint anyone unless you really need that over 200 amp extra duty cycle.
I went with the 225EX for the few extra amps and the dig control, control of the ramp profile and the higher pulse frequency.
So, when is the next slow boat from China going to arrive in San Francisco. Or, is it Long Beach? It was hard to hear the person taking the order and I thought she said it would be shipping two weeks from my order. This would make it the 1st or 2nd of July.
Bigjoe, No offense, but we aren't going to get into guessing games again. Each time people want us to nail down a firm day and time. Each time we get into a new round of customers peordering, its a guessing game until they give us notification of actual delivery If your unit is a 250EX, I'd say you're going to have to wait at least a month. We don't have a 225 EX.
I also want to make sure that people understand that the "ramp profile" doesn't work with the foot pedal. It only comes into play with the torch switch function.
Mark,
Got the ramp function. As long as everything works who can complain about getting a unit that has better specs than a Dynasty 200DX for less than half the price. Just when I was ordering the unit two weeks until shipment was stated. If that is not the case I guess I have jumped the gun a little early on getting my 300cu ft. of Argon, filler, tungsten, WP-18 accessories and coolant. Oh well, as least it won't spoil. Just that you maybe should know what ship it was on and a scheduled docking date. After the docking is up to the longshoremen, customs and truck drivers to get the units to you. You have no control over these factors.
your better off not even asking - then at some point the ups guy will show up and it will be like x mas with your new toy. It is worth the wait for the 250 -
When I called a couple of days ago they still had two or three PP256 in stock.
Glen
They are out of stock. All went out that day I think.
update: ORDER OF 250EX AND 256 UNITS LEAVING FACTORY ON 26TH OF JUNE. CA OFFICE WILL HAVE IT IN 2 WEEKS
Oleg,
Thanks, didn't want the UPS man to show up here while I am in San Diego or Mississippi on travel.
Oh where, oh where is my shipment e-mail? Oh where, Oh where could it be!!!
Oleg has inidcated that the 250EX's should start shipping this week. Man, it's been a long wait. Hope this unit is a lot better than the Lincoln PT225 I could have hand in 3 days.
Ok,
Contacted Everlast today and was told that the 250EX's are being unloaded as we spoke. They should start shipping this afternoon. Maybe Christmas is finally here!
Shipment in port since lost Thursday ! we should be start shipping Tuesday once we get the goods delivered
Oleg,
When I called for a status I was told they were being unloaded as we spoke. It seems that we customers get different answers depending on who we talk to. Just give me the correct status of the goods. Honesty will do more to build a company that even a little smoke and mirrors.
Unloaded from the boat, or the from the containers?
Mark,
I was told "unloading at our dock." To me, that would mean my place of business such as my receiving dock.
Progress at last. Finally received a shipment notice for a scheduled delivery on 1 August. The bad thing now is I will be on travel for work when the welder arrives.
Tracking for mine says the Departure Scan was done at 1am today. Does this mean that an Everlast worker dropped the thing off very late last night? If so we need to cut these people a little slack, they are obviously overloaded with orders.
It's tempting to do the bad kid at Christmas thing and scream "I Want, Iwant, I want!" . Although during the waiting period I did this privately, also kicked my heels on the floor until it hurt, plus I held my breath until my face turned red, but no one seemed to care.:)
Anyway, about one month from order to arrival, not bad at all considering the saving by preordering. Most of us have another welder or three lurking about for use while the dream machine is on it's way.
Mine left yesterday. That is the 250EX left. No departure date on the cart or the cooler. Currently, the only thing I have is the little MIG and the old AC225. Waiting on the TIG!
Received the 250EX today as scheduled by UPS. Didn't receive the cooler and cart that was orded at the same time. There was UPS shipping documents generated for these on the same date as the 250EX. So, called Everlast and was informed that the cooler and cart would not be received for another 1 1/2 weeks. Why keep a customer in the dark? Why can't they send an order status when they have already taken our money? If I had known that it would take over two months to get a full unit I would have went to Lincoln. It would have cost a little more but, I would have had it in three days from order to door!
as bad as it sounds it looks like they are getting better, I waited a lot longer. Plus from watching the site Mark and Oleg do post up some eta's
If the units were not in stock and you generate a shipping document with UPS. It gives the customer the impression that the units are awaiting pickup by UPS. Wouldn't you agree. Only to find out that it will be another 1 1/2 weeks before the ships gets in, a few days to receive them and process. Then another week for shipment to Virginia. So, I am looking at three weeks before I get the cooler and cart. I could make it without the cart. However, the cooler is needed to run the torch over 80 or so amps. I know I could use a garden hose. But, I bought a cooler so I would have everything on a cart and be portable in the garage.
baby steps man baby steps
The reason the shipping is created in advance is to SPEED delivery once they arrive...otherwise it would be about an additional delay of 1 week, especially with the volume of preorders we do these days.
People in business still don't understand the value of simple communication. This is not a problem that only Everlast has. It is my impression that most businesses do this poorly. However, it would do a small company like Everlast a tremendous amount of good to do pay close attention to these small things. Until they can pinpoint an exact date that units will be in stock and communicate effectively with their customers, they will continue to put people off.

I know that I can test it to 250A using SMAW. However, this won't fully test the unit. It would be nice to have a full 30 days from the date I receive the complete outfit (welder and cooler)!
I spent several years in the service industry and owned my own electronics business. I had to contact every customer that had units in for service once a week to personally give them an update on the status of their repair. It was part of our customer care. Personal contact on the phone with the latest update on their repair, status of their part if it was awating parts. With my own business, I had face to fact with every customer at least every week on the route. Yes, it takes time. Yes, the customer would see the personal touch and I received a lot of repeat business. So, customer care pays off in many ways.
Joe,
In these cases when something isn't available immeditately we make exceptions. But you do need to read the return policy. Free shipping on return IS NOT included. We have made this clear here before. The customer returns the unit at his expense and we refund the balance, minus 10%. Its in our terms a policy posted clearly on our site. IF there are genuine failure with the machine, we refund the full amount of the purchase cost and shoulder the cost of shipping.
IF you need to weld with the torch, then do so. IF there is an issue with the torch before you receive your cooler, then we can ship you a new torch.
